"M.M.I. Time": Reclaim a little Solitude to Unlock Your Best Thinking

This simple but often overlooked idea is really resonating with my coaching clients right now: a practical way to reclaim some feeling of control & clarity — even if you feel you can’t afford time away.

Today’s professionals and leaders rush from meeting to meeting, consumed by emails, calls, and tasks. Amid the chaos, one crucial element goes missing: time to think clearly, creatively, and strategically.

That’s where M.M.I. – “Me, Myself & I” time – comes in. Even short, micro bites of solitude can make a big difference.

Imagine setting aside time once a week — or even once a month to get started — NOT AT THE OFFICE, with no agenda or distractions. Head to a coffee shop or local library. Let yourself declutter your mind, prioritize what matters, plan next moves, and make thoughtful decisions.

In these moments, you give yourself permission to:

  • ✅ Tap into intuition – hear the quiet voice that busyness drowns out.
  • ✅ Spark creativity and inspiration – fresh ideas and renewed energy emerge when your mind is free.
  • ✅ Feel more in control – step back, see the big picture, and own your priorities.

Some clients have implemented a simple but effective system: they pack operational and admin meetings into Mondays, then protect early Tuesdays for M.M.I. time. (SUPER valuable)

No devices buzzing, no colleagues interrupting – just you, your thoughts, and space to breathe.

FYI, the name "M.M.I." was inspired by the song “Me, Myself and I” from the seminal hip-hop group De La Soul.

Get Rid of that "Where Did My Time Go?" Feeling with this Simple Tool for Peak Efficiency

Ever wonder why time seems to slip through your fingers like sand? You're not alone. Millions struggle with a hidden productivity saboteur, draining their energy and leaving them feeling perpetually behind.  Have you ever felt the pain of saying this: “Where did my time go?  I was so busy and yet I feel like I didn’t get nearly as much done as I could have?” How many times have you made the same mistake repeatedly, wondering how to break the cycle and get it right? How often do we let poor habits creep into our lives without noticing them?

Design Your Dream Life with a Vision Board

  Do you ever feel hesitant to go after big goals or dreams? Or unsure of your goals or how to achieve them? Wish there was a way to turn your wildest dreams into a tangible roadmap for success? What if I told you there's a simple, yet powerful, tool that can help you gain clarity of your dreams and bridge the gap between desire and achievement?  Design Your Dream Life with a Vision Board You've probably heard about Vision Boards, but maybe you've never used one... or even considered using one. Maybe you've heard a friend or co-working raving about theirs, or maybe you've come across somebody's Pinterest board.

It's so much more.  It's about turning your dreams into a roadmap for success—something to act as a const...
